Work is underway to dismantle the remains of two tower blocks in Glasgow which remained standing due to a failed demolition.

The six remaining Red Road tower blocks were intended to be levelled on 11 October during a controlled explosion.

However, substantial parts of two of the buildings remained in place.


The remaining storeys started being brought down with specialist machinery on 14 October.

A spokesman for the Glasgow Housing Association said: "Although two of the blocks did not fall exactly as predicted on Sunday, all blocks are now at a height that the demolition can be completed as planned.

"The contractor has now begun work on dismantling the remaining floors of the blocks.

"This work will be carried out under strict health and safety conditions and with minimum disruption to residents."
